How to Get From The Cancun Airport to Playa Del Carmen
welcome to the Cancun International
Airport you will soon be arriving in the
beautiful Riviera Maya in Mexico in this
video we'll show you how to get from the
Cancun Airport to plateau Carmen or
wherever you're staying in the Riviera
Maya we will talk about all the ground
transportation options so you can get
right to your vacation and enjoy your
time here so you're coming to Cancun
Airport and you want to know how is the
best way to get to your hotel well in
this short video we're going to tell you
the five ways which you could easily get
transportation from the penguin Airport
to where you need to go the first one is
booking and private transportation to
anywhere you need to go whether it's a
hotel or a rental now this is what most
people booked because it is the most
efficient way to get from the Cancun
Airport directly to where you need to go
these are just for your group or your
family and you can book a round-trip and
get a discount this is what the private
transfers look like from the Cancun
Airport they're a spacious fan and will
give you more space than a taxi also
your driver will meet you at the exit of
the terminal and take you to your van
there are also luxury private transfers
available from the airport and handicap
vans also in our article we'll have a
link to the best recommended private
transportation company that you could
use your trip here to the Riviera Maya

number two is the audio bus this is the
only public bus that services the Cancun
Airport they mainly have service to
downtown Cancun for tamales and Plato
Carmen
there are infrequent buses also directed
Tulum
now these buses are very cost effective
if you're traveling by yourself or on a
budget and staying near the bus station
however the audio bus does not stop
along the highway at individual hotels
and in our article we'll have detailed
instructions as to how to take the audio
bus and some important tips the audio
bus leaves from all four terminals of
the Cancun International Airport and
leaves about every 30 minutes for
destinations to Cancun and Plato Carmen
you can purchase your tickets at the
exit of each terminal or you can also
purchase them on the platform at a stand
the bus tickets are timed so we don't
recommend buying them ahead of time at
the airport you can use pesos credit
card or small bills of US dollars if
you're taking the bus from the Cancun
Airport to Playa del Carmen you will
arrive at the Juarez and 5th Avenue bus
station this is the only stop and flight
Oh Carmen the number 3 option is if
you're staying an all-inclusive hotel
sometimes they have buses it will pick
you up and you can include
transportation in your package now this
can be very convenient but you might
have to wait when you get here to
airport because the bus is often or for
50 people or 60 people
and you have to wait for everyone to get
through security and customs so in this
case you also could just book a private
transportation and go straight to your
hotel and that way when you get to your
hotel you're not with a group of people
they're all checking at the same time
another thing to consider if you're
taking the hotel transportation is the
return to the Cancun Airport often the
return to the airport is with a group of
people leaving at multiple times so this
might put you at the airport an hour or
two before you need to be there this is
where you might just want to take a
private transfer to save some time on
your vacation the fourth option is car
rental there's many cars for rental at
the airport and if you're going to be
staying and doing a little adventure and
driving on your own this can be a good
option to get to and from the airport
check out our guide on our website for
driving in Mexico for important tips for
your vacation number five is a taxi or
uber now we have to say uber does not
operate currently in the Riviera Maya so
this is not an option from the Cancun
Airport taxis are not an option of
course when anybody flies into an
airport they want on maybe just hop in a
taxi taxis from the Cancun Airport might
not be the best option for you for
several reasons the first reason is
there's no set prices on taxis and taxes
do not have meters nor are there boots
where you can buy tickets so the prices
are open to negotiation and that's kind
of hard when you land and you don't want
to have to negotiate a price like any
airport in the world it can be a little
confusing after a long flight being
asked by many people about
transportation options it's very nice to
have a pre booked transfer waiting for
you at the airport
so you can go right to your hotel

second you can't get a round-trip
discount because you'll be taking
different taxis so with the private
transportation you can get a round-trip
discount and so this is a much better
option because you can pay in advance
you have several methods of pain and
you're bilingual driver it is important
to take note of some of the
transportation times from the Cancun
Airport
for example to the hotel zone in Cancun
it is about 20 to 30 minutes from the
Cancun Airport to Plato Carmen it is
about 50 minutes and to Tulum about one
and a half hours
we hope whatever method you choose to
get from the Cancun Airport to Plato
Carmen or wherever you're staying that
you have a great vacation in the Riviera
Maya
this area of Mexico is a wonderful place
to come and visit for your vacation it's
also great to get out and explore the
natural area of the Riviera Maya and the
Yucatan Peninsula
there's cenotes eco parks Mayan ruins
and so much more we have dozens of
guides on our website to help you find
the best of everything and how to get
every where you want to go so we will
see you online
